Computer Architecture

1CPA•9 chapters•2 ECTS credits•Level Beginner

Introduction

Since the beginning of the computer equipment, the computers are consisted mainly of circuits. The end to end of circuits doesn't allow necessarily obtain a computer, but the setting up of logic circuits allows quickly have an efficient computer.

The knowledge of the computer allows you to make developments inside, but above all, allows doing the appropriate programs to work with effectiveness. Make it compatible a program on a computer architecture that we know allows reduce and optimize the runtime, which is today's standard.

The evolution of software can't be done without the evolution of the computer. The project architects or computers are the future of modern computing, that is why it's important to understand how are built, the computers, their programs, and how the data are stored and transported.

The course of computer architecture is the presentation of standardization of data storage (conversion to binary, binary calculations, standardization IEE754 and other encodings), logical and sequential circuits (We use Digsim tool for the simulations), their put into practice in the design of the machine (CPU, memory ...) and finally the low-level programming (we use assembler 8086: Emu8086).

You master the subject : Get certified and earn ECTS credits

Enrol for a SUPINFO cursus

You can earn an Associate of Science diploma at the end of Year 2. That title can be supplemented by one year in B.Sc to earn a Bachelor of Science. B.Sc. holders can further their path to success by taking an additional 2 years M.Sc. to get a Master of Science (french-state accredited)

Get back soon to learn about our certification program

Earn a certificate together with ECTS credits after completing this course.

Through the SUPINFO course you just follow, you can get certified by taking an exam during one of our exam sessions.
